i wanted to send you a person message, but you seem very educated in this subject.

I had an clean EMG on my legs about six months ago. At the time I had a lot of twitching. I had an clean EMG on my arms about two months ago, as well. Doctor said no ALS not to worry.

All of the sudden, I feel like I am dragging one of my feet and have some twitching in my legs again. My question is that I know a clean EMG means no ALS, but how far in the past is that valid?

I still run and don't trip then and if I focus on walking I don't trip then either.

I definitely suffer from health anxiety regarding this and realize it could be nothing. It may be important to note I have been having plantar fasciitis pain in that foot. So, maybe that could also be the cause.

Does this sound like ALS at all? Should I not worry based on previously clean EMGs?

Salutations, Kind Sir - I'd like to start a continual thread of religious related jokes. *How does one make the "title" in bold print; *Let others know it is on going, and * that they can add jokes, too? Thanks much! May blessings abound - B. (PS: I'm not a frivolous person - but appropriate humor helps us see there can still be joy in spite of circumstances.) ( I wish I had the power to heal everyone.) B.

Hi Atsugi,
Three years ago, you helped me decide to look at other explanations for the symptoms that I was having. I was scared that I had ALS, due to muscle weakness, twitching, and muscles fatiguing VERY quickly. Three years later and I am still struggling to figure out what I have going on. I have the same symptoms, just more prominent and my writing has become impaired. The doctors have said I can come back for more testing. Because my grandfather had ALS, it is on my mind. I'm 35 now. In your experience and opinion, and because I am about to start fresh with this search, after 3 years of symptoms, do you think it's safe to say I can rule out ALS?

Hey I again wanted to say thank you for helping me out with your kind words! I was just curious, you help so many people on this forum, without asking anything in return, so I was just wondering, maybe there is something that bothers you, anything that you would like to get of your chest? I'm really so amazed on how you help other people every day, with something you're battling yourself! You are someone I want to be as a doctor! Thanks!

Hi, There you are. Wandering through the still very new options, I came across the lovely pictures of your beautiful family. What a blessing. I am very sorry to learn your dear wife has passed. As the last of my birth family, I miss them, too, but their love and memory lives on.

Thank you for your military service - keeping us safe from the evil doers. Someone wrote you flew off an aircraft carrier. May I ask if it was the Forrestal? We had service men in our family in peace and war. We honor all those who serve.

Still trying to discover how to put photos on separate messages. Perhaps the instructions will pop-up soon. (smile). Miracles happen. Another will occur if I can find this location again.

Best sign off for now. Will send "poem" soon. Last līne not quite positive enough for "Hope" criteria. Need to think of alternative. May you find something beautiful to lift your spirit today. B.
